Each menu offers a little something different and range from a three-course brunch menu for $45, a four-course dinner menu for $59, to a five-course dinner menu for $79. Get all the details after the jump…

Each menu features the best of sustainable and mostly local seafood including appearances from oysters, scallops, lobster, Dungeness crab and the best of the daily catch (simply grilled and whole). Each menu also offers a “little something extra” that guests will have to discover for themselves.

The GOODS from YEW restaurant + bar

Vancouver, BC | One of Canada’s foremost culinary talents and homegrown chefs is ready to take over the burners at the Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver. With the departure of Oliver Beckert to the new Four Seasons in Baltimore, the Four Seasons’ team looks forward to welcoming its newest addition, Executive Chef Ned Bell, effective August 15th.

‘Farm to table’ is an essential mandate of this Okanagan born chef.  A good portion of his life was spent growing up in the Okanagan Valley which has instilled a lifelong passion for fresh and locally sourced cuisine. At 12, Ned began making dinner for his brother and sister igniting his love of cooking.

Bitten by the ‘restaurant bug’ early, Ned got his first job at 15, washing dishes at Kerrisdale’s Avenue Grille.  His culinary studies began at Canada’s prestigious, Dubrulle Culinary School, where instructor Rob Feenie inspired Ned to follow him to Le Crocodile.  Flourishing as an apprentice under Feenie and Vancouver culinary legend, Michel Jacob, Ned next moved up as Sous Chef for the opening team of Lumiere, a restaurant that put Vancouver on the global culinary map.

Looking to broaden his culinary horizons, Ned moved east to hone his talent at key positions in Toronto and Niagara. A few years later, things turned a ‘little bit country’ when Ned heeded the call of the west and was soon awarded the “Best Overall and Rising Star Award” from WHERE magazine after opening Murrieta’s Grill in Calgary. In 2007, Ned fulfilled a dream and returned to his Okanagan roots to become co-owner and chef at the Kelowna lakeside favourite, Cabana Bar and Grille where he was soon ranked one of Western Living magazine’s “Top 40 Foodie’s Under 40.”

“Food doesn’t need to be complicated, but it is important to know where it comes from,” says the chef. Naming his own food philosophy ‘Globally Inspired and Locally Created,’ – a process that begins with premium ingredients, sourcing the best of what is available locally and seasonally, and then focusing on flavour.

After a 2010 move back to Vancouver to be closer to family with his wife and newborn son, Ned is absolutely thrilled to join the Four Seasons family to work with a hotel and restaurant so loved and established within the industry and community. “I am very excited to be part of this team,” says Ned. “With YEW’s meaningful approach to food, an absolutely stunning room and incredibly talented team from front to back, I can’t wait to be a part of the vision, adding my own twist to the future.”

“Outgoing and passionate about his craft, Chef Bell has such energy, enthusiasm and passion for cooking,” comments Regional Vice President and General Manager, Robert Cima. “We look forward to welcoming him to our team and sharing our compassion for the culinary world.”

When the apron is off, Ned can be found running local trails, hitting golf balls and spending time with family. Chef Bell is passionate about making a difference to cuisine in British Columbia.  He loves being part of the vibrant food scene and is particularly smitten with local farmers markets and BC wine country.

News from Scout supporter YEW restaurant + bar

Vancouver, BC | On Friday, September 24, Canadian actor Dan Aykroyd will be behind the bar at YEW in the Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver to mix Crystal Head Vodka cocktails. Aykroyd, spokesperson for the brand, is making a stop at YEW on a “bottle-signing” tour of Western Canada and the US to share his passion for the designer spirit.

Crystal Head Vodka is quadruple-distilled and triple-filtered through Herkimer diamond crystals. It is manufactured by the government of Newfoundland, the last government owned still in all of North America. The vodka is sold in a clear glass bottle in the shape of a human skull.

Media and restaurant + bar guests are invited to watch Mr. Aykroyd in action. Make next Friday’s cocktails an evening to remember as you mingle with two Canadian celebrities – Dan Aykroyd and Crystal Head Vodka.

Aykroyd’s turn at the bar will be followed by a “meet and greet” at YEW lounge.

About Crystal Head Vodka

Crystal Head Vodka is one of the only pure spirits available which features no additives unlike many other premium and super premium vodkas and spirits. The name and shape of the bottle are based on the legend of the 13 crystal heads that have been unearthed throughout the world and are said to emit positive energy and healing properties.

Dine and unwind at YEW restaurant + bar, with its West Coast urban vibe that feels both cool and inviting – a rare combination. Its dynamic ambience, creative menu and highly experienced and attentive staff, have made YEW a city favourite every day of the year. Named for the rare indigenous Pacific Yew tree, YEW restaurant + bar provides an ideal escape in the heart of the city.

With large windows and skylights, lustrous wood and natural rock, YEW brings together the most beautiful elements of nature in a clean, contemporary style. The menu represents the broad culinary vision of Executive Chef Oliver Beckert by including ingredients from the entire Pacific region.

Designed to capture the essence of British Columbia’s natural environment, lofty 40-foot ceilings reach to the sky, while wood-panelled walls and a floor-to-ceiling sandstone fireplace emanate warmth and comfort. The very contemporary “raw bar” features stacked alder wood with granite surfaces. YEW’s unique communal table for fourteen is created from a slab of hand hewn western maple from Vancouver Island. Or for a more intimate experience, guests can dine in a glass enclosed Private Dining Room for ten, under a vast sky light located in the center of the room.

“The physical design of the restaurant combines sophisticated urban with the natural beauty of British Columbia,” says Executive Chef Oliver Beckert, “so we wanted a menu that was consistent with that vision. The food we have chosen to include is sophisticated and dramatic. We don’t want to overpower the palate, but we want to stimulate it. Our focus is on the integrity of flavour. We allow the food to speak for itself.”

YEW restaurant + bar is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails and is ideal for both personal and business occasions.
